There are models of education where you become a partner once you understand the concepts. Something like Peer Instruction. You could have as a tutor a person from the same generation, a person who just happens to understand the concepts that you are trying to learn better. I did this for my friends with programming back in college.

So? You want to reduce the diversity of model of learning. I think diversity is good.
Last week I attended the Berlin Bachata Congress. Bachata is a dance. Organizing such a context means flying world class teachers from all over the world to Berlin and paying for a location in which to held the event. That costs money.
You just wouldn’t get a comparable event by getting a bunch of people from Berlin who dance Bachata together and try to let them teach each other.
The event exist because on of the Bachata dancers in Berlin wanted to raise the level of Bachata in Berlin and organized it. He saw a need in the local community and filled it. Total budget of the event is probably something like 50000€. In total he made a profit but that’s not why he organized the event.
It would be a lot more complicated if you would have to convince some centralized authority via a rational discourse that we should have a Berlin Bachata Congress.

I have no idea how you derived this conclusion from what I’ve said.

I can resonate with an example like this because I learn tango right now and yes… there are masters that could help one improve the technique BUT… I don’t see how this constitutes a valid example since is mixing current model with what I was exploring. If plane tickets cost thousand of euros, if space renting is highly expensive… and if everyone involved has a high enough imperative to get a lot of money… you will get something like this expensive bachata festival. If transportation, food and lodging would be free.… masters could come only to build status. An you will not need any permission from a centralized authority. Local events authority involved might be involved for scheduling some event locations…

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant with completely free transportation. Given global warming I’m not sure that we want to have completely free transportation. We probably do want some system that doesn’t double the amount of plane travel by allowing anybody to jet around all the time.

That still gives the local event authority power. Markets are good ways to decide whether a given location will be used to hold event A or event B.
Not all problems are well solved via markets, but trying to solve every problem through discussion and no problem via markets is a bad idea.
